Homemade Hippie Nutbutter

I visited a farmer's market in Portland a few weeks back and got some great cashew butter. We tore through it super fast. The ingredients were cashews, flax seed, sunflower seed, canola oil & agave. I was inspired to give it a go myself. How hard could it be?

It turns out homemade nutbutter was fun and dead simple. I scoured my bulk section at the health food store and got a good mix of nuts. I threw them in the food processor with a little honey for sweetness and some coconut oil for texture (canola oil is not that healthy). Here's what I put together (and for less than $5 !!) :

Homemade Hippie Nutbutter:

1 cup each unsalted:

-cashews

-almonds

-flax seed

-peanuts

-sunflower seeds

2 T coconut oil

To taste: sea salt, raw honey

Put in food processor and blend until desired texture is reached. You may want to stir batch every so often while processing. Store in the fridge and use somewhat quickly. It's fresh - no funky preservatives. Enjoy!!

About Me

My name is Sarah and I live in the Pacific Northwest, USA with my husband, kitties & turtles. I am not overly religious or overly organized like some supermom type bloggers - no offence ladies, I love your stuff that's just not me. I try to keep a nice home with minimal fur on the furniture, but I value having a life too. I drink a lot of coffee, wear a lot of yoga pants (I'm in my 30's after all). I love to cook, make art, craft and garden. It keeps me sane after the 9-5 rush. I have a fucking potty mouth. Sorry if you get offended. It's not my intention. I am a little on the quirky side. I am doing this blog as a creative outlet and because I have gotten so many great ideas from other bloggers and pinners. I hope maybe I can share something with you that will make you happy too.
